Default Help with B&M transmission cooler

I just ordered and recieved a Universal B&M transmission super cooler. I thought i would get the hardware with it(hoses, fittings, and connectors) but I didn't. From what I can see is the hose fittings need to be 3/4." Does anyone know where I can get these at? I was also wondering if anyone know where to get the hose connectors from also. I've tried googling this stuff, but haven't found anything. If anyone can help out i would really appreciate it.

Also its a good idea to get different hose than the one provided. I used the provided and sure enough within a year it started leaking a bit. I went to NAPA and bought their tranny hose for a few bucks and it seems to be better. Do a search and you'll find that a lot of other people did the same.
